The Madras high court on Friday restrained the newly-elected office-bearers of the Board of Control for Cricket in India from functioning.

An interim order was passed by a division bench, comprising Justice P D Dinakaran and Justice K Ravirajapandian, on a review petition filed by Chennai-based Netaji Cricket Club.

The bench also appointed retired Supreme Court judge S Mohan as interim administrator, subject to him agreeing to the appointment.

In its review application filed in the Madras high court on Thursday, Netaji Cricket Club had sought setting aside the election of the BCCI office-bearers, held at Kolkota on September 29 and 30.

The club also wanted the newly-elected members to be restrained from functioning and an interim administrator appointed to run the Board's affairs.

The club contended it was aggrieved by a division bench order of September 29, setting aside a single judge's order a day earlier appointing Justice S Mohan as the commissioner to conduct the BCCI election.

On September 28, Justice Ashok Kumar had appointed Justice Mohan to conduct the elections in accordance with the BCCI rules.

The judges also granted leave to chairman of the Maharashtra Cricket Association Dyaneshwar Agashe to file a review application.

On Thursday, Agashe had sought leave of the court to file a review application, similar to that filed by theclub.
